Drink to me only with thine eyes

 

 

 

Drink to me only with thine eyes,

And I will pledge with mine,

Or leave a kiss within the cup,

And I'll not ask for wine:

The thirst that from the soul doth rise,

Doth ask a drink divine,

But might I of Love's nectar sip,

I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,

Not so much hon'ring thee,

As giving it a hope that there,

It could not wither'd be:

But thou thereon did'st only breath,

And sent it back to me,

Since when it grows and smells, I swear,

Not of itself but thee.
